The last FF worth playing in our opinion is Final Fantasy IX. To us, it is one of the best of the series, and our personal favorite. Everything about that game was perfect. The characters we solid, and had great backgrounds. The villains were interesting, and Kuja was just plain awesome. (Except for that man thong of course...)
Sidequests and mini-games galore, along with secret locations and one of the HARDEST SECRET BOSSES EVAR! (Took us 3 hours to kill.
) The game packs in all into a whopping adventure that can total up to 90 hours if you aren't cheating. 
All in all, if we were stuck on a desert island and could only play one video game for the rest of our lives, FFIX would be a huge consideration.
But if we had to pick between Chrono Cross and FFIX... We would have to shoot ourselves. :ugh:
